We align on your dating goals, platforms, and overall vibe before we ever pick up a camera.
This ensures your photos reflect who you are now — not a generic version of you.
This isn’t about creating a persona. It’s about showing who you already are—clearly.

Confidence Coaching Built In
Natural light. Real environments. No stiff posing.
I guide expression, posture, movement, and micro-adjustments so you look relaxed and intentional.
Sessions are conversational and movement-based — designed to capture the way you actually show up in real life.
No performance. No pressure. Just clarity.
Photos That Actually Do Something™
Melany only had quick snapshots — nothing that showed her warmth or personality.
During her session in Elk River, she relaxed, laughed, and finally felt like herself on camera. Now her dating profile reflects the real her: joyful, stylish, magnetic.
From conference selfie → joyful, confident, fully seen
Kerry’s old photo was the classic “I guess this works” selfie.
But once we photographed him doing something he loves — playing guitar in the North Loop of Minneapolis — everything shifted.
His confidence showed up. His personality came through.
And his profile finally has a story worth stopping for.
You’re not bad at dating—your photos were just doing the wrong job.
From travel selfie → confident, compelling, and approachable

I had three new dates lined up.”

Warm Expression Coaching
Hi, I’m Shannon — and I get what this feels like
I met my husband on Bumble in my 40s — and that experience reshaped how I approach dating photography.
As of May 2026, Dallas becomes my home base — but Minneapolis–St. Paul remains one of my core cities. I return several times per year for limited pop-up sessions.
Now I help Minneapolis–St. Paul singles feel relaxed, genuine, and magnetic on camera… especially the ones who swear they’re “not photogenic.”
My goal: photos that finally feel like you — and help the right person recognize you.
This works best when you’re ready to be seen — not perfected.

Online Dating Photography FAQs
You’re not the first person to feel nervous about being photographed — especially for dating apps. That’s why I’ve answered my most common questions below, and you can always dive into the full Dating Photography Hub if you want to nerd out on details.
Yes. I’m booking Twin Cities sessions through April 2026. After relocating to Dallas in May, I return several times per year for limited pop-up sessions (May 14–16 confirmed, August 19–22 tentative). Priority list members receive first access.
Are you still offering sessions in Minneapolis–St. Paul?
If weather doesn’t serve the session, I build buffer time into each visit so we can adjust within that window. In rare cases where weather disrupts the entire window, your session rolls to the next available Minnesota return date.
Your photos should feel intentional — not weather-dependent.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Twin Cities sessions take place during limited pop-up windows. If you need to reschedule, it must stay within that same visit when possible — future dates may be months away.
Signature and Private Client sessions include one complimentary reschedule.
Foundational sessions do not.
What if I need to reschedule?
Absolutely — most of my Minneapolis & St. Paul clients start out feeling exactly this way. I guide you through warm expressions, natural posing, and gentle direction so you never feel stiff or awkward. My job is to help you look like your best, most relaxed self.
I’m awkward / not photogenic. will you help me pose?
Ready for dating photos that actually feel like you?
If you’re tired of photos that don’t look like you—or don’t attract the kind of people you’re hoping to meet—this is where things start to shift.
Serving Minneapolis–St. Paul through April 2026 · Limited pop-up dates throughout the year.
I’m offering a limited number of dating photo sessions designed to get you more matches, while I’m in Phoenix this March.
No awkward posing. No modeling experience needed. Just photos that actually feel like you.
